"Then what about Mr. Roman's gift?" Brick asked, his heart racing. It wasn't that he was so eager for a gift for his child that he was shaking, but he was more anxious about what he was about to hear.

"This is what I wanted to consult about," Keith began. Day and Brick looked at each other.

"About what?" Day asked briefly.

"Well, at first Mr. Roman wanted to give a well in China to little Ob, but I thought again that you and Brick would definitely refuse," Keith explained, leaving everyone stunned, while Day’s expression turned serious.

"No way would we accept," Day immediately replied, because he had only recently gotten to know Roman seriously when Roman started dating Keith. If you were to ask who Day was closest to among the four tigers, it would be Ivan, since he used to work with Kamol, who is part of Ivan's network, allowing him to meet Ivan frequently. Even Ivan giving him millions had already stressed him out. Now, facing Roman's gift, he felt even more stressed.

"That's why I found a solution with Mr. Roman to give something tangible instead. If it's something related to money, you definitely won't accept it since you already got money from Mr. Ivan," Keith continued. Brick let out a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he didn't like money; everyone liked money. But if he got too much, he felt uncomfortable.

"So what is this tangible thing you're talking about?" Day asked next.

"A private yacht. Mr. Roman ordered a new one to be built. It should take about a year to finish. So Mr. Roman decided to combine it as a birthday gift for little Ob’s first birthday and will take care of the docking arrangements," Keith said, causing Brick to nearly stop breathing.

"Wait a minute, Keith. A private yacht is being called a thing, is it?" Brick exclaimed in shock because he initially thought it would be some small item.

"Yeah, you know how many rounds I had to argue with Mr. Roman to get this cleared? When I refused the oil well, Mr. Roman said he’d give a gold mine in China. When I declined that, he offered shares in the mine instead. But I thought it would just complicate things with permits and taxes. It would just be a hassle for you. Mr. Roman also offered a private plane, but I thought that if you wanted to use a private plane, you could just let me know, and I'd borrow Mr. Roman's for you without needing to refuel it, plus it would come with a captain. During the discussions, he mentioned buying a private island near Tonga too. I told him that you probably wouldn't take little Ob there often; it would just end up being an abandoned island," Keith complained, leaving everyone stunned by what they were hearing.

"Looks like it ended up being a yacht then," Nan said.

"Yeah, but I wanted to ask you first if you’re okay with Mr. Roman and me giving the yacht to our nephew," Keith mentioned. Day raised his hand to his forehead.

"Keith, this is too much; you know that, right?" Day spoke seriously.

"I know, I know that you're not the kind of person who wants such things, even if it's for little Ob. But Mr. Roman really wants to give it," Keith replied.

"Then can you tell Mr. Roman for me that I only want money equal to what Mr Ivan gave?" Day asked Keith for help with this. Since Roman wanted to give, all he wanted was money that matched what Ivan provided.

"Are you sure you only want money equal to what Mr Ivan’s giving?" Keith checked for confirmation.

"I’m sure," Day replied seriously. Keith then turned to look at Brick.

"Just like Day said," Brick agreed with Day. Keith let out a soft sigh.

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Roman about it," Keith replied. Everyone sighed with relief. Brick even sprawled out on the floor of the playpen.
